A friend sent me this map of the federal interstate system depicted like a subway system. I don't know who the illustrator was but he or she put together a really cool looking graphic. Being fascinated with maps from an early age, I even contemplated printing it out and framing for my wall. To me it is a work of art that sends my thoughts into directions it might not otherwise go. Wouldn't it be great if that was the high speed rail network? Maybe one day. Let's keep our fingers crossed!!!
Often I do image searches on google and find interesting illustrations. Sometimes it gives me inspiration when I'm writing articles and essays. Several days ago I found another illustration that depicted a high speed rail network for Mexico. The idea of a high speed rail network has been tossed around in Mexico for years though it has never gone far beyond the idea stage. Several years ago a high speed rail line was planned between Mexico City and Guadalajara put the plans were dropped because it was too expensive at the time. Another dream perhaps but it would be a great reality. Until then I'll enjoy the dream and the works of art that result in the process.
